say there is corrosion and pitting

would the way to do is this?

remove tyres
sand down wheel, removing all pitting and corrosion
etch prime? < this the same for alu wheels as it is for metal??
then either chemical metal or normal filler?
then sand smooth
another coat of etch primer,
then normal primer
then paint,
then as normal t-cut out orange peel, polish and wax


would that be the correct way to do it?

only have to use e-tech primer once after the filler, if there are bad curb markes or chunks missing then use chemical metal. that what my brother does and he does great jobs
